New Mercedes-AMG G63 arrives with 577bhp

14/02/2018

WHILE the all-new Mercedes-Benz G-Class has given Germany's cult-hero off-roader a new lease of life, Mercedes-AMG has given it a hefty serving of steroids. The four-wheel drive puts more power to the rear wheels for a sporty feel, while the AMG-specific gearbox has selectable modes that further enhance performance.

In terms of aesthetic updates, the 2018 C-Class gets a redesigned front bumper with chrome trim, optional multi-beam LED headlights that have 84 individually controlled LEDs and C-shaped LED tail lights.

The C-Class" current generation - now in its fourth year - is the German brand's most popular auto, and this new model will look to push sales even further as it combines "emotionality with intelligence', the firm says.

Details on pricing and United Kingdom specifications are yet to be revealed but expect to hear more following the car's public debut at the 2018 Geneva Motor Show, taking place from March 6 to 18.

First orders will be taken from next month, but the earliest United Kingdom deliveries aren't expected until August. "This applies to the entire G-Class model series".

Mercedes is hoping that having more standard equipment on the C-Class will increase the car's residual values, thus helping to lower monthly PCP finance payments.

WHEN IT comes to listing unlikely high-performance cars, the Mercedes-AMG G 63 has to be somewhere near the top of the contenders.

The German carmaker is ready to introduce two plug-in hybrids to its facelifted C-class line-up as part of plans for an extended range of EQ-Power-badged models. The Maybach S-Class now shows even more styling differentiations from the standard S Class with a new grille that's been inspired by the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance premiering Vision Mercedes-Maybach 6 coupe from 2016.

The interior gets the familiar pair of 12.3-inch displays, plus an AMG-specific steering wheel wrapped in perforated leather and squared off at the bottom like a single-seater racing auto.

While the vehicle's grown to offer substantially more passenger space inside the cabin, it's also been put on a diet.

Luxury is still the name of the game, though; full specifications are yet to be announced, but a 590-watt 16-speaker Burmester stereo system and heated, cooled and massaging front seats with air bolster side supports will be offered on the options list.
